  • Evaluating Crime Prevention Scheme Success

    Open AccessShane D Johnson, Kate J Bowers et al.ARTICLEEvaluation2004Cited by: 3References: 1

    Research demonstrates that certain crime prevention techniques work. Accordingly, current evaluations focus on what works and where. One of the key elements in assessing crime prevention success is determining the number of crimes prevented. This allows the cost-effectiveness of schemes to be assessed and different schemes to be meaningfully compared. Evaluation studies of what works include a variety of different approaches, some more robust tha…

  • Victimization Revisited

    K J Bowers, Kate Bowers et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology1998Cited by: 1

    There is a dearth of research concerned with repeat victimization of non-residential properties. The present study examines the extent and time course of repeat burglary against such properties. The results demonstrate that the risk of repeat burglary suffered by non-residential properties is greater than their residential counterparts and that, in common with residential burglary, the time course of repeat non-residential burglary conforms to an…

  • The Effect of Social Cohesion on Levels of Recorded Crime in Disadvantaged Areas

    Open AccessAlexander Hirschfield, K J Bowers et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies1997Cited by: 35References: 16

    This paper investigates the hypothesis that the level of crime in disadvantaged areas will be influenced by their levels of social cohesion. This issue is examined using two methods for delineating areas of disadvantage (geodemographic classifications and the British government's official deprivation measure, the Index of Local Conditions) and two independent components of social cohesion, one defines the level of 'social control' in an area and …

  • The Development of a Social, Demographic and Land Use Profiler for Areas of High Crime

    Alexander Hirschfield, K J Bowers et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology1997Cited by: 2

    Maps that show the patterns of crimes do not allow the investigator to analyse, in depth, the relationships between levels of crime and the social and physical environment. In order to address these shortcomings, a demographic, land use and crime risk profiling system has been developed and piloted on Merseyside. This paper sets out the need for a profiling system, discusses the data sets which are used and addresses a number of issues concerning…

  • New Insights Into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Repeat Victimization

    Stephen Johnson, S D JOHNSON et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology1997Cited by: 8

    Research has demonstrated an elevated risk of burglary following an initial incident. The present study examines the time course of repeat victimization, and extends understanding by examining the relationships between repeat victimization and deprivation, and burglary ‘hotspots’. Consistent with other studies, the rate of repeat victimization was higher than that expected on the basis of statistical likelihood. Interestingly, the time course of …
